Jungle Boy had used Baltimora’s ‘Tarzan Boy’ as his entrance song during his time on the independent scene and now he continues to use the song in AEW.
Speaking at the Double or Nothing post-show media scrum, he said the song had shot him to a new level. Here is the quote, courtesy of Fightful:
“The song originally was Joey Janela’s idea and I had never heard it before. He said, ‘you have to come out to this.’ I didn’t know what it was and I thought it was a little bit goofy, but I saw immediately how much people enjoyed it and that just made me fall in love with it. Then I felt my time with it had come to an end when I came here, and it was actually something Tony [Khan] had mentioned a long time ago. He was really excited about it.
He’s like, ‘I’m going to get it for you.’ I was like, ‘alright, if you can do that, that’s awesome, but I’m not expecting it.’ Then I’m not exactly sure how that all works, but he did it, somehow, right at the beginning of the new year. I felt like that kind of changed the game for me and shot me to a whole new level. He really is the best, in so many ways. So generous and passionate and excited about so many things. So I’m really appreciative he would do that for me.”
Jungle Boy also talked about how he gets extremely nervous before his matches. However, his music now helps to calm his nerves. You can read more about that here.
Jungle Boy won the Casino Battle Royale last night, earning himself a shot at Kenny Omega and the AEW World Championship. He will have his title match on the June 11 episode of AEW Dynamite.
